My scrapping existance revolves around colour..Bright and lots of it.. I hope it's a refelection of how I live my life.. So with that I was always find the White With One challenges particularly difficult.. This was my second shot at using bright pink and white.. I like it..But I also don't... I love the little hanging hearts...So cute.. I itched the whole time to add some green or aqua..SOME extra colour...

On the banner each flag has a letter saying 'love her'....Can't really tell in the shot..

Kinda appropriate for the birth of my only son.. I treasure these first photos with him. He was so sweet and tiny. He's such a boofa now. I like scrapping in reverse.. When some time has passed and the photos bring back delicious memories while you are scarpping them.

Lots of misting goin on here.. I misted the heart..The doilies..which make a cool bunting banner..And I think I even misted the background??

This is one I completed at the 12hr crop a few weeks back.. The challenge was to use a 'she' quote..

I have used:

'She has this way of brightening the day'

Cause truly she does..When she's not being a pill, biting her sisters, whining " I want too"when I say no to her! LOL!

Some of the yummy new vintage prima flowers on here. Some old flowers too and believe it or not there are three heart shaped doilies onder there some where..They started out as the feature and then just kinda got lost as I put more and more stuff on there! Typical me!

The last two were right near the end and they amake me smile..The kids were pretty much over the whole thing... But of course the three big girls were still trying hard.. Milla was DONE..Rylan was close and I think Rodda and I were close to needing another cappuchino!

So 7 people 12 times got some serious kick ass this month...

I love the top one in the tree..

More shots that I love - just not with all of us necessarily:

I Luuurve this one.....

I had to include this one because dratty Miss M was ACTUALLY looking at Kirsty and her fingers were ACTUALLY not in her mouth.... Bless my other three little 'mini models'...

Oh my gosh..This just took my breath away...

I must say...that Kirst and I were perfect to photograph each other 'large' families...We both understand really well the difficulties faced with trying to capture them ALL perfectly.. Basically it CANNOT be done.. Instead we run with the motto Tara Whitney embraces "Perfecty Imperfect"...

...at our reciprocal family photoshoot over the weekend..I have just seen the photos I took (and she edited) for Kirst over at her blog - here. I was so relieved and happy that they turned out for her so well.. But like the comment I left for her..A photographer can only work with the raw materials she was given..And lets just say the materials were pretty darn good..The love and bond you and all your boys share was so evident and made it a pleasure to photograph you..
So here is just a sneaky peek at some that she took for me.. and let me add there is plenty of love with this little not so little lot...More to come...

Have had a play with some of the new Kaiser Craft girly paper range..Cut out those lovely glittery butterflies..

A bit of Sassafras hiding at the back.. A bit of Pebbles paper too.. I have used the packaging of Elle's studio tags ( pink stripe) and I actually typed up my journalling. Which is virtually unheard of on my world!

Very old Heidi Swapp letters that I have glimmermisted. I have used twine in the pace or ribbon.. funky (and chunky) rose brad and some little handmade taggies...

Seeing as I am trying to go to a 12 hr crop at the LSS tomorrow I thought it appropriate to post a layout:

This layout is for the Get Picky challenge.. The inspiration was romantic and gorgeous...

I have used a Cake Inc patterned doilie...Some Stella Rose stickers and brads and some old stuff too. The tiy paper roses I got at Lincraft ages ago and I love them. Webster Pages heart up there too.. The layout is all about Milla at age 2 and half. It is such a beautiful age. She is so cheeky, her language is steaming ahead and I wanted to document it...

and this photo:

He does not take a bottle and still does not sleep well...Hmmmmm. BUT he is eating well

I made the butterflies from white chocolate coloured pink. I traced around my Martha stewart butterfly punch onto wax paper and then piped the chocolate on. I used gel icing on the bodies and those sweet little balls..The cake stand is cardboard from House..

The tea cups were from a thrift shop. They were the party favours..filled with lollies and butterflies..

I also got the butterfly cookie cutters at House and used them to make the fairy bread...

Lots of pink and buuterflies. The girls all made a canvas using my butterfly punches too...
